Data and Healthcare: Accelerating Patient Care/Outcomes

Data is Advancing Healthcare and Research

Improvements in technology, coupled with the convergence of cutting-edge research and data analytics have created a new opportunity in healthcare. Today’s clinical workloads require storage infrastructure advancements that meet their demands and deliver fast, high-quality patient outcomes. The system must be able to quickly access clinical applications, databases, and EHR/EMR, deliver reports, handle customer billing and claims responses in near real time, and speed access to images and test results for fast patient assessments.

The ability to correlate genomic, clinical or behavioral data with advanced treatment information and research can help deliver precise diagnoses, evaluations, and medicine to patients while possibly identifying future risk factors and diseases.

Patient data that was once confined to paper/photographic records is now digital. This means powerful database systems and virtualized IT environments are the norm. Add BYOD, tablets, wearables, telemedicine, care network collaboration, AI, and analytics to the mix, and success comes down to your IT.

Healthcare and Research Speed Patient Care and Outcomes with Data

Microscopy images are growing in size as new innovative techniques increase their clarity and resolution. That means more bioimages will need to be centrally stored to not only accelerate treatments, evaluations and diagnostics, but to also learn from these large datasets. Combining storage technologies at the edge and in the core, healthcare and research organizations are investing in solutions that properly index, preserve, and provide access to these large bioimaging files, which are critical for future life sciences discoveries and cures.

Genomics

GENOMICS

Realizing the Full Potential of Precision Medicine

Cutting-edge research and bioinformatics are transforming vast amounts of data into results that are driving a revolution in personalized healthcare. Use of genomic sequencing has grown significantly due to dramatically lower costs. The breadth of additional data now available for deep learning of computer algorithms can lead to faster analysis and better predictions.

Analyzing and managing the enormous volume of data has become a major challenge for life science organizations. The existing storage infrastructure is being pushed to its limits and traditional architectures simply can't keep pace.

We offer a dynamic range of solutions from PCIe attached NVMe SSDs that help accelerate bioinformatic applications, to cloud object systems for aggregating and protecting the wealth of life sciences data.

Remove the Storage Bottlenecks in Genomics Analysis

Rapid advances in life sciences R&D are making it possible to deliver medical diagnoses and treatment based on a person’s genetic makeup.

Simplify Research and Machine Learning Pipeline Analysis

Imaging is the dominant form of analysis for molecules, cells, and tissues across the life sciences. Data generation is growing faster than any other field, driving computing and storage needs beyond what traditional architectures can support. A single modern microscope can generate 5-10 terabytes a day, and most labs operate more than one simultaneously.

The storage challenge is not just about high ingest rates and keeping the compute cluster fed with data for near real-time analysis. Scientific research organizations are now keeping their data forever, with the hopes of applying artificial intelligence. They want a private or hybrid cloud for efficiently storing petabytes of data and making it securely accessible to collaborators around the world.

Unlocking Insights that Revolutionize Patient Care

Decreasing the time necessary to validate or eliminate findings and diagnose a health concern can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. For people with rare or incurable illnesses, clinical trials and research can be crucial to a positive patient outcome. Accelerating the timelines to complete trials and research through machine learning and deep analytics can drive needed medical breakthroughs, unlock rapid insights, revolutionize patient care, and ultimately save lives.

Achieve Round-The-Clock Collaboration

Patients need 24/7 care. Instant secured access to data and test results through care network collaboration is key in diagnosing patients quickly and determining an effective treatment plan. In addition, patient evaluations can be accelerated and enhanced through AI-assisted image analysis. This comprehensive approach is helping imaging centers decrease the time between diagnosis and treatment, as well as ensuring high performance for PACS systems.

With IntelliFlash arrays, you can reduce latency by 10x to boost clinical application performance and enable more effective patient care. Balance performance and economics by selecting the ratio of media (performance flash, dense flash) necessary to support your workloads.

Deliver Personalized Patient Care

Healthcare providers can see hundreds, even thousands of patients annually. The time spent with each patient is often limited to a quick exchange of information or test results. New technology infrastructure, from edge-to-core, coupled with machine learning and analytics, can improve clinical efficiency, the speed and quality of patient evaluations, and enable providers to invest more face-to-face time delivering personalized care.

Patient Care – Anywhere at Anytime

Providing excellent patient care is about more than a brief office visit. Patients expect personalized care that happens anywhere at anytime. For healthcare providers to succeed, they must be able to quickly access vital information; from patient data captured and processed at the edge with IoT wearable devices, to information transported into the cloud and accessed from mobile solutions by physicians, nurses, and clinicians. Patient care anywhere at anytime is effectively fast tracking diagnosis, response, and treatment plan timelines.
